A Roof Over the Head - Saghfe Balaye Sar - سقف بالای سر

This film consists mainly of a single shot of a conversation between the recently widowed Tayyebeh and her dead husband's brother Mehdi. Tayyebeh's husband Mahmood was killed in the Bama earthquakes, leaving her with a young daughter, Elaheh, medical bills and little money. Mehdi stepped in to pay their medical bills, and now desires to marry his brother's widow. This engaging, minimal film captures the anguish and difficult situation Tayyebeh has been placed in, and makes the audience sympathise fully with her plight.
